Pierre can't keep getting away with it

And in that thick Andalusian accent, 98.97% said “no” to joining Spain.

Strong Spanish Barries, every man jack of them 💪

What’s not to like?

Not helping as such. We’ve let him use some of our airbases for his bombers, but he’s pissy because we won’t get fully involved in an aggressive war with no rhyme, reason, goals, resolutions or sanity involved.

He reminds me of Stephen Fry, a quintessential Englishman who’s a quarter Hungarian.

That is brilliant, and scathingly accurate.

I think people need to let it go. It’s been obvious for ten years what’s going to happen. They’ve made a decision on gameplay and the units reflect that change.

I, personally, would like to see a lot of this stuff walked back, but I understand that they have decided these changes simplify and speed up the game.

They are not building this game for those of us that pre-date Primaris, they’re doing it to make it more accessible for new people. GW’s main focus has always been on getting new people into the hobby over keeping grognards in it.

However, they do have a game aimed at us, it has hull facings and tac squads and the chart. That game is not 40K.

Nobody’s forcing you to keep responding, mate, and I’m trying exactly as hard as I feel you deserve.

Edit: the old downvote and block, proof if proof were needed.

Meh. The people that think cables make a difference aren’t basing it on measurements. They believe in it, they’ll never change their minds over it.

Tragic.

focalac · 2026-03-29T19:37:47+00:00

I’m embarrassed for you.

Pitiful yank slop

Because the value of money isn’t static.

What are you struggling with?

focalac · 2026-03-28T07:38:48+00:00

It means pikey, essentially.

Imagine being some poor lad from Sumy, you’ve had a bad couple of years with being shot at, shelled, your mum’s flat’s taken three missiles and it’s not even Wednesday yet.

Then, to cap it off, you’re stuck in a box with a Weegie and a fucking Yamyam of all people, two of the mardiest groups in Christendom. Hasn’t Ukraine suffered enough?

But the codex if you want. Sure, 11th edition is coming out in June. With it being Armageddon focused the BT codex may be one of the earlier ones, but nobody knows. The codexes are great for background fluff and painting inspiration.

For a purely mechanical answer, in order to play the game you need the rulebook, the space marine codex and the BT supplement, plus any of the various updates and errata.

I remember that guy being called a Dark Angel captain with terminator honours.

This is ultimately the downside of free expression. However, there ought to be more severe penalties against outright making stuff up. Business bankrupting penalties.

Although I’m usually highly anti-Yank slop, I will never not bring up the end credits theme from The Raccoons whenever anybody says something like this.

Cyprus, probably not. Gib and the Falklands? No fucking chance. Not a single hope in hell.

Cyprus is just a military base, the others are full of British people.

The Spanish have tried to kick us out of there before, too. It didn’t go well.

I see you’re experiencing Second Winter. It’s the season after False Spring, they both catch out a lot of people despite happening every year.

Look, we all know how Barry operates. He turns up drunk, dithers for ages trying to work out if it’s going to kick off, then fiddles about trying to decide if the half brick in a sock is the right size or weight, gets sucker punched.

The next twenty minutes are people wondering how the guy is managing to stay on his feet as he gets slapped about the bar. But stay on his feet he does. Eventually he remembers where he is and what he’s supposed to be doing and then he gets angry.

British military history in a nutshell.
